An opinion by the Québec Ombudsman to facilitate recourses against an aggressor

On December 19, 2017, the Québec Ombudsman released an opinion calling for the abolition of any time limit for civil actions in case of sexual assault, violence suffered during childhood, or violence by a spouse or an ex-spouse. It makes 4 recommendations to the Ministère de la Justice.

A complaint to the Québec Ombudsman is usually filed by the person who personally experienced the situation for which the complaint was lodged while a report is made by someone who has witnessed shortcomings or injustice in public services.

No. The Québec Ombudsman cannot act to have a decision by a tribunal amended or overturned (for example, a decision by the Tribunal administratif du Québec, the Tribunal administratif du travail or the Régie du logement).
